Will Death By Lightning be Netflix's next three-body issue?
Like 3 Body Problem, Death By Lightning was not developed by Benioff and Weiss; they are merely executive producers. But Benioff and Weiss are now two well-known personalities thanks to the popularity of shows like Game of Thrones and 3 Body Problem; their names will inevitably be connected to the new show, therefore parallels are probably going to occur anyhow. Based on the scant knowledge thus far, Death by Lightning stands to be rather distinct from both Game of Thrones and 3 Body Problem.
Apart from the fact that both Game of Thrones and 3 Body Problem are based on IP and produced by Benioff and Weiss, their main true parallels are their rather big storytelling scope and expense. The latter is somewhat dense science fiction, whereas the former relates a story in a large fantasy universe. By contrast, Death By Lightning is situated solidly in the actual world in real history and its premise suggests it will be a drama more strongly anchored in the intricate relationship between two major characters.
Writers of Game of Thrones; Next Netflix Series After 3 Body Problem Gets Major Filming Update
As the show executive created by Game of Thrones producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss moves closer, Death by Lightning gets a hopeful fresh update. Benioff and Weiss undertook another major adaptation with Netflix's 3 Body Problem following the end of their epic adaptation of George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones book series in 2019. The team is executive producing Death by Lightning, a Netflix series produced by Mike Wakowitz dramatizing the rise and murder of U.S. President James Garfield by his close friend Charles Guiteau.
According to ProductionList.com, Death by Lightning is scheduled for July 1, 2024, in Budapest, Hungary, starting production. The show lacks a releasing date yet. Official series advertising material could appear before the end of the year as filming starts this summer. Michael Shannon will play President Garfield and Matthew Macfadyen will be Charles Guiteau in Death by Lightning. Among others, the supporting actors are Nick Offerman, Shea Whigham, Betty Gilpin, and Bradley Whitford.
Tell me the background of Death by Lightning.
Mike Wakesome developed a drama series for Netflix called Death By Lightning. The show dramatizes the events around James Garfield, the United States' twentieth president, and Charles Guiteau, the man who would assassinate him. As stated in February 2024, Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfadyen were hired for the major parts.
The drama is probably going to be a great new addition to the Netflix library given a great cast and gifted producers. The narrative itself is fascinating since it centers on a real occurrence that grabbed national interest. The concept of the show is likely to draw in fresh viewers.
information about the Netflix Show
Although the Death by Lightning budget is unknown, it is practically assured to be far less than that of 3 Body Problem season 1, which represents a shockingly costly undertaking for Netflix at an estimated $20 million each episode. Though not yet formally announced, Death by Lightning also looks more likely to be a limited series than a multi-season event. Though many doubts still surround Benioff and Weiss's forthcoming project, it is clearly deviating from their earlier work in an exciting manner.
